K2 Missbehaved 2008

All-around good ski, but it didn't really stand out amongst the others I demo'd. Oddly enough, my favourite memory of them were some high speed carving turns

Performance

I liked them. No problem floating through powder, they were very stable in crud, and I really liked the feel of carving on these. At this size, they were manageable in trees and the bumps.

For comparison - these plow through crud better than the Salomon Guns, but don't feel as springy for jumping around. They don't float like the Hellbent, but they carve much better. They don't grip ice like the Faction Heroines, but they float through pow more. Maybe a bit heavy for park.

Design

My sister likes the graphics. I don't dig pink that much.

Value

Looks like they'll be a bit less expensive than other similar skis. Coool!

Fit

169cm felt just right for me. These are a women's ski, but they work great for scrawny guys too I guess. I think 169cm is the only length they come in anyway.

Characteristics

Medium to soft flex. They feel most at home in soft snow. Not much grip on ice.
